Another #OAWeek2020 handy hint for people without access to journal subscriptions -- use @zotero! When you save an article it uses Unpaywall to automatically find and download a Green OA version if available. zotero.org/blog/improved-…
The Unpaywall browser extension is also very handy -- it tells you when a green OA version of an article is available. unpaywall.org #OAWeek2020
The Open Access Button also helps you find OA versions of articles. And if there's no OA version you can request one! openaccessbutton.org #OAWeek2020
And both Unpaywall & the Open Access Button provide public APIs, so you can integrate OA discovery into your own projects and workflows. openaccessbutton.org/api unpaywall.org/products/api
Of course all these tools do depend on researchers making the effort to deposit Green OA versions of their work in a suitable repository. If you don't have an institution to help you, try Share Your Paper: shareyourpaper.org #OAWeek2020

As a little experiment for #OAWeek2020, I’ve saved the details of 242 articles published in @AHSjournal between 2008 and 2018 using Zotero.

@AHSjournal has a Green OA embargo period of 18 months, so things published in 2018 or earlier should be outside the embargo.
@AHSjournal So how many Green OA versions of these 242 articles will we find using @OA_Button?

Any guesses?

To answer this I’m getting the article DOIs via the Zotero API and then feeding them to the OA Button API.

So the results...
@AHSjournal @OA_Button 18 of 242 articles are green or gold open access.

5 of these gold OA (ie via APC).

13 are green OA (accepted manuscripts in institutional repos).

There are also 2 articles that the journal has made ‘free access’. These don’t show up in the OA Button results.

20 of 242 – 8%.

Hey #ozhist #twitterstorians, if you want to explore the gaps & inconsistencies in @TroveAustralia’s coverage of digitised newspapers the #GLAMWorkbench can help! Here’s a few suggestions...
@TroveAustralia For the big picture, see this notebook which visualises the total number of newspaper articles by year, then breaks them down by state. nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/GLAM-Wo…
@TroveAustralia Notice the copyright cliff of death in the charts above? If you want to find out what newspapers are available beyond 1954, you can grab a list here: nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/GLAM-Wo…
